#Entry_Hub – because integration is local
In a time of apps, websites and automation, connecting in-person can seem like a thing of the past. But for job-seeking refugees, it can be the key to their success. For refugees, the challenge of finding employment seems daunting. How does job-seeking work in this new country? Where does a newcomer even begin? What are employers looking for? For employers, the challenge is equally challenging: not knowing how to assess refugee education, work experience or skills can mean missing out on talent and opportunity.
Bridging these gaps is critical, but their success only comes because of the power of local partnerships. Starting small, but already spreading across the country, We Link Sweden’s Entry Hub (▻https://www.welinksweden.se/entryhub) project is playing an important role as a broker between refugee job seekers and the companies that want to hire them.
The We Link Sweden model champions close relationships with local city governments, non-government organizations, employers, researchers, and the refugees themselves to craft local, customized solutions that meet all their needs.
